About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Neighbourhood gem
Mägo is a family owned and operated fine dining restaurant from Chef Mark Liberman. We offer an exciting tasting menu cooked over wood fire, offering our take on Contemporary Colombian fare, anchored in an understanding of using Northern California ingredients, simple flavors in bold combinations.

Our tasting menu focuses on ingredients that are at their most peak in deliciousness .This usually means produce that is in season, which in turn means they are their most flavorful, which is one of the reasons why we change our menu daily. In order to ensure the proper planning of your evening, please allow for 2.5 hours.

We also offer an a la carte dining experience at our bar that is available for walk in guests.

The restaurant’s informal atmosphere features an open kitchen surrounded by intimate tables, outdoor heated garden patio and chefs counter seating. From the warm greeting you receive upon entering until your final goodbye, we invite you to feel at home.

    Exquisitely presented, unusual and delicious food! Service and atmosphere luxe, but warm and comfortable. While I understand we had a tasting menu, a bread of some sort would have been a great addition- portions are very small. Outstanding service.

    The service at Mago was great. All the staff was knowledgeable and attentive just to the right degree. The prix fixed menu started strong with just a couple of misses, but the entree was really disappointing: a boring and overcooked pork chop. Some of the dessert dishes didn’t really work, with discordant flavors and odd consistencies. I expected to take a hit on the bill (right around $400 for two people, which included a drink each matched to each of the 3 main parts of the menu). I hear the bar menu is good, so I would recommend skipping the chef’s tasting menu if you want to give Mago a try.
